Synopsis:
When a medieval kingdom is ravaged by a mysterious epidemic, the king summons a renowned herbalist to the capital in the hope of finding a cure. But soon, the herbalist is accused of sorcery and condemned to death. As the kingdom descends into chaos, she becomes entangled in a web of sinister schemes devised by a trio of witches, a treacherous councillor, and a knight driven by selfish ambition. With danger closing in from every side, her only hope lies in the unlikely allies who come to her aid: a natural philosopher, the knight’s noble father, and her most faithful companion—a fox.
